Sweat

[Zebra Woman]

Aw you've just brought back a terrible memory of one of those dreaded 'dares'. A forumite had to suck the toes of someone, AFTER she'd done a whole night of dancing at a weekender!

He DID and he ENJOYED IT! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I couldn't even watch

Yes he really really did

But Lory, you've missed the worst bit.

Straight after totally sucking the dancer's feet, the person who performed the dare then gave the person who set the dare...

a great big kiss!!

WITH TONGUES!!!

She ran off to the toilets retching!!

I didn't know whether to laugh or be sick myself

Lory kindly sent me the pics of that feat and trust me, they are not pretty. Infact, thanks Lory, remind me to do you the same favour soon xxx

Done

Thank you!!!!
Any chance of having:
"Lost all means of self-control",
"Like a twenty dollar whore"
and
"Lord, we've all walked through that door"

as well?

Mr Harper has a very poor viewpoint IMO. I sweat whether im fit or not.

You'll notice that I was offering a viewpoint on when I sweat, not a viewpoint on when you sweat.

Dancing MJ has made me alot less fit, as it replaces squash and basketball training.

As my weight has slowly gone up, so has my sweatiness. My dance style is far from minimalist, which probably doesn't help.

I reckon on about 1 shirt every 30-40mins of freestyle, depending on the heat of the venue.

I've had complaints about sweatiness on my first dance after a shirt change

Someone should invent a wicking material that you can just rinse and wring-out every 30mins

And maybe MJ venues should be equipped with drying lines or tumble driers!

A little of both was all we could do!!!!!

Now I sweat a lot.
When I was young, lean and fit I never sweated no matter how strenuous the sport. And before you ask, it was a lo..ong time ago.
Now that I carry those extra pounds of insulation, the heat has to get out somehow.
The lungs are good heat exchangers and a lean body that does not expend a deal of energy in moving around, may only require a bit of radiation to keep body heat near optimum. Deodorants that prevent perspiration are bad if they promote overheating.
A cold/cool shower helps, but few venues have that facility. (Scone new Year Ball did).

I have managed to lose about 3kgs over the last ten years, but the combination of a weekly swim and thrice weekly dancing has certainly helped maintain my current weight.

The slow comb gets abandoned first as I warm up and even the comb goes as the water starts to drip.

Don't drop the hand onto your neck. Drop it past or to the side. As for the slo-comb, that's just naff.

[Astro]

am guilty of the same. Although i suspect it was more a desire to lick the guy than anything to do with sweat!

no no and eeeeeeeoouuuuuuuwwwww.

Thats worse than toe sucking.

NO WAY!!!!

There's no way I would suck his sweaty toes.

It's true, anti perspirants block the sweat ducts and are especially bad for women as the sweat backs up into the breasts.

Trouble is, it's so hard to find a deoderant that is not antipersirant (anti perspire ant)
You have reminded me, I will go and try and buy one soon.

yes, dropping on to the shoulder works as I get warmer, but even that fails as I start to drip.

I recently changed my technique in the slow comb and like it.
Judging by my partners' reaction and the fact I am not holding their hand during all of the end of the move, they seem to like my new version as well.
So I cannot agree it's naff.
Any dep experts out there willing to divulge if my new slo is naff?

I was not thinking about that.
More along the lines that our bodies generate extra cooling capacity by evaporating the perspiration. If our reaction to overheating is to perspire and we use an artificial aid to prevent the moisture coating the surface, then the overheating becomes a problem.

I brought a friend to ceroc once as she had heard about it, thought it sounded like fun and wanted to give it a go. She came to one class and then never came back, citing "horrible sweaty smelly men" as the reason... The only times I've been properly soggy have been when I've worn my tux (for various reasons!) and with the jacket on you can't really tell...

[Double Trouble]

"horrible sweaty smelly men"

That was pretty much my impression when I first started, so I just avoided the stinkers and complained to the organisers, but most people just don't bother to come back if they have a bad experience...not everyone can be bothered or have the confidence to tell the organisers "Your taxi dancer absolutely stinks like the devils armpit...sort it out"

If I was running a class I would make sure, at the beginning of EVERY lesson I made it absolutely clear the importance of personal hygiene and I would provide deodorant for sale and for use in the toilets.

Imagine how many members have come once and been put off by smelly inconsiderate blokes (or women)

Probabaly a few. But many places don't provide such when I'm sure they know full well that plenty men (& some women) don't take any smelly stuff. Always a nice touch too.
